Hey I realize this is a blog hop but would anyone object to me posting on my Facebook page instead?

Ok, this isn't a criticism, but just my point of view... From the standpoint of a "downloader" (since this is the first blog train where I'm one of the contributors and not a downloader), I personally skipped the one's that asked me to go to facebook simply because you are forced (in most cases) to like their page. I know for me, in the beggining, I didn't like "Liking" people I didn't know. Also, a lot of people still don't use FB. I only have it because of my crafts and starting my own shop, but otherwise I wouldn't touch it. I'm sure there are lots out there that would do it so they can keep track of the designers they see on the blog, but again, my own opinion, most just want to download and go. It might be different with this one since I think most will be people from this site.

Molly, I've personally had troubles on my laptop getting the facebook fan downloads...for some reason. I have to go in through a desktop computer to get something posted on facebook...so it's rare. Don't know what the issues are, but my laptop has a history of not being able to get at everything. I also have found Box.com downloads don't work I can't get at either. sometimes it's that the page doesn't look right in the layout, like I can't do Twitter anymore, cause it all runs down the left of the page.

Please don't think I'm nuts, but when I heard this theme I thought of dr seuss... still trying to figure out why And I got a new script that I thought I would try, so I made a tube of feathers in the train colors, which made me think of the funky birds that hang out in Whoville and with the Lorax... hence the name of my little kit. I'll put a link to the tube for the train as well.

I have a question about files. I'm going to have several colors of the same element. Is it acceptable to put them on one png file or should each be a separate file? (example: 4 pieces of different colored washi tape.) Any thoughts?
Same thing with my word art and other elements.

Personally I prefer them separate, because if I don't want or will never use certain colors I can delete them from my PC and not waste valuable storage space. Most people tend to be drawn to certain colors more than others or have colors they just don't like and never use. just my two cents.

What a variety of kits from the same color palate. Very inspiring. I hope to have time to create at least a mini-mini-kit before April 1, but time is running short and I have never done a complete coordinated kit yet. However, all the first time designers who have contributed are giving me hope. Thanks ladies.
(A whole day later) Everything didn't go smoothly but it was a real learning experience and I'm pretty pleased with the results. AND I have a whole new appreciation for designers.

Everyone who has posted their design for the April blog train is very beautiful! This will be my first blog train. I started out with just a couple of elements and now I have 40! Is that too much? Should I just make a mini or go for it?

@Sharon I say just go with it! I am the same way, though I haven't done much designing. I tend to go overboard. If it is a theme I am having fun with then I just keep thinking of things to add. I am sure all will appreciate! More is always better than less especially if one wants to make an entire photobook using "one" kit.

@Sharon Grant -- that happened to me on my first blog train! I ended up with so much stuff that I broke it up into 5 or so kits, which was kind of nice because for a while I could put up a new kit about once a week.
